MILITARY RECORD GOOD NOTED RETIRED ARMY OFFICER WHO DIED AT HOOD RIVER YESTERDAY. t I 1'Irst Kxiorionce Is in Campaign Against Gcronimo; Service Seen in Alaska. HOOD RIVER, Or., Oct. 31. (Spe-oiaI.)--Colonel W. F. Tucker, United States army, retired, aeed 65, and one of the last survivors of hish military rank of the army regime of a quarter x-entury apo, died this morning at the -"Collage hospital here. "Colonel Tuck er, a native of Boston, Mass., was not a West Point man. He received a. commission in 1882. His first actual Tniiltary experience was during the camualn against Geronimo. '. Colonel Tucker, following the Span-ish-Ari;rican war, was transferred from Tampa, Fla., where he was sta tioned, to Alaska. In the far north Jie was on the staff of the late Gen eral Randall. For a time he was sta . tior.ed in Portland. Later Colonel Tucke.- was sent to Manila, where for el nvir.iber of years he was paymaster (for the- island department, on his re turn to America he was stationed at "the Lakes department at Chicago and just before his retirement was made assistant paymaster-general. Colonel Tucker's health was im paired by life in the orient. Physi . cians in 1910 held no hopes of his re covery when he came here seeking . health. He purchased a tract of for-, est land overlooking the upper Hood river and with one of the finest views obtainable of Mount Hood. There in seclusion he set himself to the taek of recuperation. With his brother-in-law, George Krey, he had cleared I the land and planted a large orchard acreage, and was just beginning to ' realize the rewards of his labor by the first apple crops when death ' came. Colonel Tucker was a member of the Knights Templar and was a Scot- - tifih Rite Mason of high rank. ; Colonel W. F. Tucker, who died yesterday in Hood River, held a number of prominent positions dur ing his 27 years' military service, including that of chief paymaster of the Philippine division for a period during the Philippine war and later assistant paymaster-general with the rank of colonel at Vancouver bar racks. He held the latter position at the time of his retirement, March 4, 1909. The colonel was located at Van- couver barracks for a number of years and made many friends in .' Portland during that period. Colonel Tucker was appointed to a commission in the service from the . state of Massachusettes in 1882. Al though stepping from civilian life to J his military career, he was particu .larly successful and rapidly climbed " . to the rank of colonel. At the time of the Philippine in , Burrection he was sent there by the . peymaster-general's office and was made chief paymaster of the islands during that period. This was one of the most important offices in ' American military circles in the Phil - ippine Islands at that time. Colonel C. E. Dentler of Portland Paid last night that he remembered . Colonel Tucker having held this posi tion during the time he himself was - in the Philippine Islands in 1903 and .- 1904. Colonel Tucker retired from the army on account of poor health and ..immediately went to Hood River, where he purchased a farm near Mount Hood, which he planted to ap pies. Physicians and friends had al - most despaired of his recovery at the time of his retirement, but the open air life on the farm restored much ot his former vigor. His place at Hood River was named El Corregidor in memory of his days in Manila. Following receipt of a telephone message from Mrs. Tucker from Hood River yesterday, Edward L. Estes, o Portland, who had been for manj - years a friend of the colonel, left for . Hood River. : CAMPUS IS PAINT-DAUBED Sidewalks Smeared and Statue Taken From Corvallis. ; OREGON AGRICULTURAL.

SALEM, Or., Oct. 31. (Special.) Touring the week ending- October 30, 1S19, there were reported to the in dustrial accident commission a total of 8 accidents, according to a report issued by that body today. Of the total number of accidents reported. 469 were subject to the pro visions of the compensation act, 13 were from firms and corporations that !. had rejected the law, and six were from public utilities not subject to the provisions of the compensation act. The week was free from fatalities. Slieeplierder Referred To by State Is Said to Have Carried Ririe. Expert Testimony Given. EUGEXE, Or., Oct. 31. (Special.) The state rested this afternoon in the trial of Martin A. Clark, charged with the murder of Charles L. Taylor of McKenzie bridge, and the defense ex amined four witnesses just before court adjourned. The first was D. A. Hoag. a school teacher from Marion county, who was in the mountains near where Taylor was found dead and who testified that the sheepherder, who was thought to have been the only other person be sides Clark and Taylor in that locality at the time of the shooting, carried rifle when Hoag saw him two days after Taylor disappeared. The state had introduced testimony from two witnesses that this sheepherder was unarmed. Dan Cushman of Walton also testified that he saw this sheep man and that he had a gun. For the state, Robert H. Craddock, police Inspector of Portland, qualified as an expert on ammunition and guns and stated that he had made experi ments in many cases in Oregon. His testimony dealt entirely with the pe culiar marks on the shells made by the imperfections of the breech block of Clark's gun. Other testimony introduced by the state was to the effect that there had been some differences between Tay lor and Clark for more than a week before Taylor was killed and that Clark was willing to join the search ing party, only he objected to ac companying certain members of it. Salem Council and Mayor in Row- sale:.!. Or.. Oct. 31. (Special.) Because Mayor Otto Wilson voiced disapproval of the council's action in employing two additional policemen, a movement was launched here today to remove the official, according to wellfounded rumors in municipal cir cles. Several of the councilmen have expressed themselves as opposed to eliminating the new patrolmen, and say they have no fear of the charge that they are liable to a fine of $500 for what the mayor says is a violation of the state law. . all times carried the air of -ne I William Sharkey, Herbert lei;ker. Stanley lsely accused, yet confident he ililwiitn, Forrest I.ittltf leid. Joeph suring- would be refeased. Testimony late Thursday brought into the case an angle which it had been thought would not appear. The defense sought to discredit the evi dence of John Leuthold, who said he had found in the sand the two shells matching one from the Howell boy's gun. Shell Figure In Testimony. The four shells figured in the gen eral testimony, but others were fired by Coroner Wilson and these were not questioned. The rifle was a single fire Stevens and before Lillian Leut hold was killed, a small brother of tier's, Carroll Worden and Harold Howell went out to try the gun. They tired lour shots, as the evidence showed. After Howell's arrest the authorities learned that the gun had been so tried and John Leuthold was reported to have gone to look up. those shells. The evidence at the trial developed that he found two shells, but no others were reported in the discov ery. The defense proceeded on the theory that John Leuthold "planted" the two shells in the sand, for they were found prior to the search where the boys fired the four shots. Curi ously, a fifth shell figured in the evi dence, for one of the witnesses for the state had gone to the scene of the tryout and found a shell after Leu thold had searched. Charles McKnight concluded his argument of the de fense at six when the recess for din ner took place. Boys Calmness Amazes. The Jurors later returned to the courtroom to hear the argument of District Attorney Hall and that of Attorney A. j. Sherwood, who was re tained by the Leuthold family to as sist District Attorney Hall. After the recess tonight th.e amazement at the self-possession of Harold Howell was commented on by many who heard his direct testimony and the efforts of the prosecution to confuse him in the cross-examination. The boy held hi calmness throughout and was never tangled in any of his evidence. I he case is expected not to go to the Jury before tomorrow morning. A' summing up tonight of the evl dence develops that it has been con flicting throughout and the defense and prosecution testimony agreed on ly in minor points. The question of perverted sexual morals came into the case today when Dr. V. L. Hamilton of Coquille was ex amined. Dr. Hamilton said such signs usually do not appear until a man is past 30, but that if in a boy, it would sow Itself in the form of imbecility or other defects.
